Hi--sorry if this question has been asked to death. yesterday I convinced psychiat, to move me back to Lex and off of prist (latter was perhaps contributing to my instability despite my lamictal)....but i forgot to ask him how to transition. True to my nature, i don't want to bug him on the weekend. I don't do well with SNRI w/drl, so wondering how to transition. I think I recalled his saying (when i transitioned to prist) that they could both be taken simultaneously? pristiq isn't meant to be cut. Since I am/was on 40 mg lex, I just too 20mg along with my 50mg of pristiq this am. i hope that's OK, but don't know how long to do this or whether I shouldn't in the first place.
BTW, he also wrote rx for ritalin (initially switched me to pristiq for my attentional difficulties in the first place) so any feedback on that drug in this cocktail would be helpful. I acquiesced because it is "as needed." sick to death of the daily meds. But I'm wary....sorry; my mind is all over the place...

Well, so far my head hasn't floated away, but, again, if anyone has any suggestions (beyond the rational one to text my pdoc)...

I know you don't want to "bug" your doc, but it's okay to reach out whenever you have concerns or doubts. Your health is very important! I hope you figure this all out.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
